Much attention has been focused in recent years on the following algebraic problem arising from applications: which chemical reaction networks, when taken with mass-action kinetics, admit multiple positive steady states? The interest behind…
Which reaction networks, when taken with mass-action kinetics, have the capacity for multiple steady states? There is no complete answer to this question, but over the last 40 years various criteria have been developed that can answer this…
Bistability and multistationarity are properties of reaction networks linked to switch-like responses and connected to cell memory and cell decision making. Determining whether and when a network exhibits bistability is a hard and open…
Biochemical models that exhibit bistability are of interest to biologists and mathematicians alike. Chemical reaction network theory can provide sufficient conditions for the existence of bistability, and on the other hand can rule out the…
Chemical reaction systems are dynamical systems that arise in chemical engineering and systems biology. In this work, we consider the question of whether the minimal (in a precise sense) multistationary chemical reaction networks, which we…
A multistationarity region is the part of a reaction network's parameter space that gives rise to multiple steady states. Mathematically, this region consists of the positive parameters for which a parametrized family of polynomial…
We study the multistationarity for the reaction networks with one-dimensional stoichiometric subspaces, and we focus on the networks admitting finitely many positive steady states. We prove that if a network admits multistationarity, then…
We consider a natural class of reaction networks which consist of reactions where either two species can inactivate each other (i.e., sequestration), or some species can be transformed into another (i.e., transmutation), in a way that gives…
Zero-one biochemical reaction networks play key roles in cell signalling such as signalling pathways regulated by protein phosphorylation. Multistability of reaction networks is a crucial dynamics feature enabling decision-making in cells.…
For three typical sets of small reaction networks (networks with two reactions, one irreversible and one reversible reaction, or two reversible-reaction pairs), we completely answer the challenging question: what is the smallest subset of…
This work addresses whether a reaction network, taken with mass-action kinetics, is multistationary, that is, admits more than one positive steady state in some stoichiometric compatibility class. We build on previous work on the effect…
We characterize completely the capacity for (nondegenerate) multistationarity of mass action reaction networks with one-dimensional stoichiometric subspace in terms of reaction structure. Specifically, we show that networks with two or more…
Chemical reaction network theory is a field of applied mathematics concerned with modeling chemical systems, and can be used in other contexts such as in systems biology to study cellular signaling pathways or epidemiology to study the…
Many dynamical systems arising in biology and other areas exhibit multistationarity (two or more positive steady states with the same conserved quantities). Although deciding multistationarity for a polynomial dynamical system is an…
Given a real sparse polynomial system, we present a general framework to find explicit coefficients for which the system has more than one positive solution, based on the recent article by Bihan, Santos and Spaenlehauer. We apply this…
This article characterizes certain small multistationary chemical reaction networks. We consider the set of fully open networks, those for which all chemical species participate in inflow and outflow, containing one non-flow (reversible or…

We provide a sufficient and necessary condition in terms of the stoichiometric coefficients for a bi-reaction network to admit multistability. Also, this result completely characterizes the bi-reaction networks according to if they admit…
The parameter region of multistationarity of a reaction network contains all the parameters for which the associated dynamical system exhibits multiple steady states. Describing this region is challenging and remains an active area of…
